2018 50c Ford - 1971 XY Falcon GT-HO Phase III Unc Coin

In 2018, the Mint celebrates an icon of Australian motorsport, recognising the contribution Ford has made to our racing culture, with the release of six coins taking in the most celebrated race cars the marque has produced.

An icon of Australian motor racing, few brands have contributed to our racing culture the way Ford has. With a breadth and depth that has seen rally championships, sports car victories and touring titles amassed by colourful and characterful drivers, Ford’s motorsport history has created a legion of ardently loyal fans.

While the Model T literally shaped our roads, it was the impact of high-performance vehicles, such as the Cortina GT500 – the first Bathurst homologation road car special, and the original Falcon GT, the first V8 to win The Great Race – that helped cultivate Australia’s unique motoring culture.

Cars have always been a hot topic in collectibles, and this series is no exception. Ford fanatics and numismatists alike are sure to revel in such a unique collection!
